they do if you own honda/volkswagen. (raceland) I emailed them about making a set for cobalts and they didnt think the demand was high enough.

Agree. Just take out your factory struts/shocks/springs, that is what you will get anyways with cheap

Plus when you put cheap parts on your car, they break, and you risk killing yourself and others.

and you get to enjoy horrible ride quality and handling, my buddy has some on his xB...would never put a part on my car like that. Hell I am even questioning why I went with KSport coils, they don't ride well and i had a rear shock explode.

Those people typically buy them for looks only, which I agree they do go very low and that's great. Take them through twisties or a road course, I doubt they would perform well. I've heard of the lower brackets failing on them before.
